NAME
CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of
the tarballs
VERSION
version 2.86
SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];
my $perl = '5.14.0';
my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );
print "Location: ", $_, "\n" for values %{ $hashref };
DESCRIPTION
CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all perl
releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the authors/id/ path that
the tarballs reside in.
This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made
available as new releases of perl are uploaded to CPAN.
FUNCTIONS
perl_tarballs
Takes one parameter, a perl version to search for. Returns an hashref
on success or undef otherwise.
The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball.
A key of tar.gz indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and
tar.bz2 of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path
under authors/id/ on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be
located.
perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );
Returns a hashref like:
{
"tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
"tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
}
Not all perl releases had tar.bz2, but only a tar.gz.
Perl tarballs may also be compressed using xz and therefore have a
tar.xz entry.
perl_versions
Returns the list of all the perl versions supported by the module in
ascending order. TRIAL and RC will be lower than an actual release.
perl_pumpkins
Returns a sorted list of all PAUSE IDs of Perl pumpkins.
